We experienced water leakage (it was an old one because the floor corner already molded), but Cruise America refused to give us any compensation and their manager treat us with COLD, RUTHLESS, and CARELESS attitude! Such a horrible company!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945792913200910111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5692294251470906684.post-70906445948241750212015-10-28T00:15:49.814-07:002015-10-28T00:15:49.814-07:00wow- just when I think my day or week is hard.

If you plan to rent, I&#39;d suggest a local company. Perhaps the personal connection will make a difference. Unfortunately, we tried our local place and they don&#39;t rent for long trips like we planned, which is why we went with a big company. We learned the hard way. <br /><br />One other option.. since ditching the RV we&#39;ve been driving a rented SUV and staying in KOA Kabins. I didn&#39;t know this option existed until this trip. Delux cabins have bathrooms, fridges, microwaves and some have cook tops. They&#39;re cheaper than hotels and you still get a bit of the &quot;camping&quot; experience with campfires, etc. I especially like that we&#39;ve been able to cook our own food. Otherwise, it&#39;s hard to eat healthy when you&#39;re on the road.Michelle Cusolitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637858838936799501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5692294251470906684.post-4597602055502664932013-07-10T20:05:41.927-07:002013-07-10T20:05:41.927-07:00Thanks, Melissa.

At one hotel, we couldn&#39;t even really walk to anything. At least in Omaha we could walk to a few good restaurants and a park. But that isn&#39;t how we wanted to spend our time. That is not a vacation.

Tomorrow we&#39;ll arrive at our dear friends&#39; house in the DC area and stay a few nights. And perhaps we&#39;ll stop in NYC on our way home. We&#39;re taking it day by day. But we&#39;ve made our own fun since ditching the terrible Cruise America RV (Yes, we had to pay to rent and SUV to get home).Michelle Cusolitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637858838936799501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5692294251470906684.post-45870724865179529312013-07-10T19:57:58.733-07:002013-07-10T19:57:58.733-07:00Thank you, Tamra.
